1966 Map of Spring Creek

About this map

The Milan Arsenal and Wildlife Management Area dominates the northern landscape of this West Tennessee quadrangle, where the borders of Gibson, Carroll, and Madison counties meet. Large tracts of land are dedicated to the Tennessee National Guard Milan Reservation, illustrating the Cold War era's integration of military installations with rural terrain. Significant water systems like the Middle Fork Deer River and its various tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Latham Creek, carve through the region's lowlands. Scattered settlements and rural hubs define the local geography, from the community of Spring Creek in the south to the intersection at Graball and the railroad siding at Lavinia along the Icg RR. This map preserves the locations of numerous historic country congregations, including Latham Chapel, West Plains Ch, and New Carmel Ch, providing essential reference points for genealogists and local historians.
